The democratic voters do not see the dangers inherent in their reliance on these authoritarian institutions they regard as benign. In contrast, with the Republican party a natural tension exists between the conservatives who send the representatives to DC to reign in spending and cut the size of government and the respective politicians who almost always succumb to the personal power that comes from excessive government spending. Hence, the Republican voters have been betrayed by their chosen representatives time and time again while the Democrats and their representatives remain united. Sadly for the country, the more popular vision of an all pervasive nanny state prevails in the low information pop culture, dooming our economy to inevitable collapse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
